Moeen Ali starred with the ball while Ravindra Jadeja grabbed 4 catches, adding to his two crucial breakthroughs that powered CSK to a comprehensive win over RR.
RR were placed at 81/2 at the 10-over mark and that’s when the game turned around completely in CSK’s favour.
It all started with Jadeja castling Buttler’s stumps that landed in the perfect stop as the right-hander fell one short of a fifty. The CSK all-rounder then trapped Dube in front, in the same over.
David Miller, who was the hero of RR’s previous game, could only score 2 runs this time around after Moeen Ali got the left-hander out for LBW.
The right-arm spinner then picked two wickets in the 15th over, with both dismissals almost identical to each other. Riyan Parag and Chris Morris tried to launch Ali out of the park but ended up handing it straight to Jadeja at deep mid-wicket.
With the pressure of chasing a big total, RR collapsed in no time and lost vital wickets in the middle-overs, slipping to 95/7.
